Islet transplantation in immunomodulatory nanoparticle–remodeled spleens
Islet transplantation is a promising therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes. However, immune rejection and insufficient vascularization hinder the survival and function of transplanted islets. Here, we show effective engraftment of vascularized and functional mouse and rat islets transplanted into biomaterial-remodeled spleens of nonimmunosuppressed rodents and human islets transplanted into the remodeled spleens of nonhuman primates (NHPs) on varying degrees of immunosuppression. We found evidence that konjac glucomannan–modified silica nanoparticles (KSiNPs) remodeled the spleen into an extracellular matrix (ECM)–rich, immunosuppressive niche to support the survival of syngeneic or xenogeneic islets. Transplanted islets in the remodeled spleens showed improved engraftment, neovascularization, and functionality and restored normoglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)–induced type 1 diabetic models in the mice and macaques, with stable insulin and C-peptide secretion in mice for 90 days and macaques for 28 days. KSiNP injection and islet transplantation into macaque spleens under B-ultrasound guidance were preclinically feasible. These findings highlight the safety and effectiveness of spleen tissue remodeling in supporting the survival and function of transplanted islets, providing a promising strategy for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
期刊介绍:
Science Translational Medicine is an online journal that focuses on publishing research at the intersection of science, engineering, and medicine. The goal of the journal is to promote human health by providing a platform for researchers from various disciplines to communicate their latest advancements in biomedical, translational, and clinical research.
The journal aims to address the slow translation of scientific knowledge into effective treatments and health measures. It publishes articles that fill the knowledge gaps between preclinical research and medical applications, with a focus on accelerating the translation of knowledge into new ways of preventing, diagnosing, and treating human diseases.
The scope of Science Translational Medicine includes various areas such as cardiovascular disease, immunology/vaccines, metabolism/diabetes/obesity, neuroscience/neurology/psychiatry, cancer, infectious diseases, policy, behavior, bioengineering, chemical genomics/drug discovery, imaging, applied physical sciences, medical nanotechnology, drug delivery, biomarkers, gene therapy/regenerative medicine, toxicology and pharmacokinetics, data mining, cell culture, animal and human studies, medical informatics, and other interdisciplinary approaches to medicine.
The target audience of the journal includes researchers and management in academia, government, and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. It is also relevant to physician scientists, regulators, policy makers, investors, business developers, and funding agencies.
